Inserts to prevent blisters

Thread Starter 
I get blisters on the inside of the balls of my feet from playing soccer, I think it's all the planting and twisting and switching directions. My question, does anyone know of any good inserts I can stick into my cleats that will help to prevent these? Thanks!

Try different socks. If you're wearing cotton socks, switch to synthetic wicking ones. And if your shoes are at all loose on your foot, try a size down or a narrower width.

Shoe fit and synthetic socks should help if you haven't made adjustments already. If all else fails apply moleskin to the area that is giving you grief.

I have ENGO blister patches inside my running shoes. Since having them, I have only the slightest of blisters even when I run full force, which is a huge contrast to before these patches. I wouldn't go back to pre-ENGO days, where even moderate running produced blisters that took days to heal.

Army trick from what I have heard.

BTW, good socks will address most blisters. I stopped getting any after getting running socks of the right size, not the generic 8-pack of tube socks from Target.

Get thicker socks. Athletic (duct tape will not be good for the long term) tape on the blisters is the staple for anyone who runs regularly.
